SpellTower

By Zach Gage

Description

Looking for a word game that goes beyond a simple Scrabble/Boggle/Jumble clone? SpellTower is for you.

As seen In The New York Times Magazine, on Apple's iPhone 5 Announce Website, and in Apple Stores

--- There appears to be a bug with iOS7 and bluetooth multiplayer. I'm working on a update that fixes this, along with adding some exciting new features that I hope to release before the end of the year, sorry about that ---

Find and swipe (or tap!) words in 5 challenging modes. Make long words or use bonus tiles to clear extra letters from the screen!

Once you have it down, Challenge your friends via intense local multiplayer.

* WORDS + STRATEGY = AWESOME *Pick your words wisely! As you work, more tiles rise from the bottom of the screen, and it'll take all of your lexicological wits and tactical know-how to keep them down. If any of the letters make it to the top row, it's game over.

* FIVE AMAZING MODES * - TOWER MODE : No pressure here. Try and get the highest score possible out of 150 letters, eliminating small words to set up 7- and 8-letter blockbusters!

- PUZZLE MODE : Every word you make adds a new row of letters! Strategic word finding at its best.

What's New in Version 3.1.3

Man. I'm so sorry about all these save game issues. I think I need to take a vacation! Everything should be sorted out finally with this version. Sometimes its hard being the only developer on a project. Again, i'm so sorry about all of this!

(if you've previously lost your save files from 3.1.1 or 3.1.2 it's normal for you to lose your saves again upgrading to this, but this is the last time! People who never had issues before should be okay, and this issue should never come up again)

Thanks so much for all your support everyone! I have some very cool updates planned for the future as well, but I wanted to get out a version ASAP for all the people buying new iPhones this friday! This update contains some real cool stuff, but it could be a bit confusing, so read carefully to see what's in store!

- supports the iPhone 5. (If you're lucky enough to have a new iPhone, I've added 'iPad Puzzle Mode' for you! It's an extra puzzle mode with a full-size iPad grid (8x14) to make good use of the new longer display)

- iCloud support* * the iPhone and iPad versions will NOT sync with each-other because they use different sized grids.

iCloud support is in here primarily to support cloud syncing to the Mac version in the future.

**The only exception to this is 'iPad Puzzle Mode' on the new iPhone 5 will sync with 'Puzzle Mode' games played from an iPad

charged in middle of night

I bought an iPad, not even a week yet, and this is the first Apple product for me. The first game I download from the App Store was SpellTower, the FREE version. I wanted to get a feel for how Apple works, etc. So, I played this FREE game last night and closed out. Then after midnight, I get a chime coming from the iPad. I wake up this morning and I have a new email. It shows that I have been charged for the full version of SpellTower. The game is only $1.99. The price is not the issue. It is being charged for a FREE version of something from the App Store, without myself authorizing the transaction. I went back to look "at the small print" and I do not see where one will be charged after 'x' amount of days.

If this is how APPLE works - want nothing to do with. I have a Kindle and Kindle has never charged me, without me authorizing the transaction. This situation makes me wonder about the other FREE apps I have downloaded. Come on Apple, you are suppose to be better than this.

Love this game

This is a challenging, addicting word game. I wish Game Center integration was a bit better. It's hit or miss as to whether your high scores and badges will be added to Game Center. Got credit for 1000 point word in the app, but no achievement showed up in GC. Same thing happened with 10 letter word achievement. Had to wait until I got my 2nd 10 letter word for the achievement badge. Doesn't seem to keep score accurately in Game Center. Would be nice to know how words are scored too. Prefer playing on iPad as there is no undo on this Game and even though my fingers are small, I can accidentally touch the wrong tiles to make a word I didn't intend to make. I'm sure the developer will make this right. In the meantime, buy it you won't be disappointed.

Was a five star rating until the last update

I totally loved this app and was seriously addicted. I shared it with a friend while on a trip and he loved it too. He actually went out to buy an iPad for playing this game and is the only reason. After the update which made all the letters smaller I HATED IT. I don't play it anymore and I told my friend about the update so he actually refused to down load the update his because of the changes to the game. Your developers screwed up on this one. That has been nearly a year and I expected more people to complain and your developers to restore it so the size of is letters are larger again. I have no vision issues, it is about grasping the letters to make words. I can't tell you hoe much I miss this game. It has gone from best to bust!
